But for American high school seniors the experience couldnt be more different. The end of senior year is a celebration of their time in high school and involves parties, games and fun.Senioritis is a commonly used expression. It means seniors have a disease which makes them unable to do work. This starts in April when seniors find out where they have been accepted to university. Unwilling to do school work, seniors have plenty of other activities to focus on. Many schools have a “Senior Show”, in which only seniors are allowed to perform. Some seniors sing or dance but many of them perform skits (滑稽短剧), where they make fun of their favorite teachers or their friends. For example, a group of boys may dress up and imitate a group of their girl friends. It is all very light-hearted.The “Senior Show” is usually a part of Senior Week, which is a week specifically dedicated (专用的) to seniors. During this week, seniors usually get academic or athletic awards they have won over their high school careers. The seniors also vote for one of their male and female classmates who they believe is the best-looking or funniest or most involved, etc. These are then published in the yearbook. The yearbook is an important part of high school for seniors. It is usually dedicated to them and has all their pictures and a quote from them in it. Then seniors go around and get it signed by their friends so they can always remember their time together. Of course during all of this time, seniors are preparing for the Senior Prom, which is an important moment in American culture. It is the most important dance in a young Americans life. The end of senior year is a truly special and wonderful time for American students. Its something they will remember for the rest of their lives.55. Many American high school seniors will do all of the following EXCEPT_. A. prepare for the college entrance exam B. perform in the “Senior Show” C. go around and get their yearbook signed D. prepare for the Senior Prom 56. American high school seniors suffer from senioritis because_. A. it is a common disease B. they have already been accepted to university C. they value friendship more than school work D. they are too lazy to do school work 57. All of the following can be found in the yearbook EXCEPT _. A. the name of the best-looking female student. B. the picture and quote from each senior C. the name of school they will enter D. some of their friends signatures 58. Which of the following words can best describe the end of senior year for American students? A. busy B. stressful C. funny D. wonderful CFor better eyesight, doctors advise limiting the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time.However, another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia (近视). An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia.The research team found that the prevalence (流行) of myopia among children in Sydney was lower than children in Singapore, even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens. The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor activities than those in Singapore.Indoor and outdoor sports activities both make the eyes focus on more distant objects, which prevents the eyes from changing shape. But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports activities.Jane Gwiazda, who does research in sight problems, says: “Natural light is good for eye growth. And extra vitamin D from the sun might contribute to eye growth.”Many doctors suggest that every child gets its first eye test done when he/she is about two and half years old, and even if his/her sight seems perfect.It is necessary for myopic children to wear glasses to prevent headaches, trouble reading or injuries. It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students eyes.If that is not possible, school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examinations and wear glasses. And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children, but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors.59Whats the aim of the study by the Australian research team ?A. To find the ways to treat myopia. B. To find the reasons for myopia.C. To prove the bad effects of myopia. D. To prove the prevalence of myopia.60Why are there fewer children with myopia in Sydney than in Singapore ?A. Because Sydney children watch less TV.B. Because Sydney children have more eye resting time.C. Because Sydney children do more outdoor sports.D. Because Sydney children use computers less.61What conclusion can we draw from the passage ?A. Sydney children dont study hard.B. Singapore children do few exercises.C. Room light does harm to childrens eyes.D. Outdoor activities do more good to eyes.62Which of the following statements is TRUE ? A. Children should have eye tests as soon as they reach school age.B. Doing outdoor activities with no glasses is good for myopia children.C. Children should limit their time in the sun in order to protect their eyes.D. Focusing on distant objects can help the eyes keep their original shape.DIn the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people didnt use the paper money until 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now.So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant gives us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late. 63.

Which of the following is NOT a way of saving paper?A. To use both sides of every piece of paper B. To use fewer paper bags when shoppingC. To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones D. To grow more trees65. Which of the following is NOT true?A. If we keep on wasting paper, we will have no paper to use one day.B. The Chinese people used paper money much earlier than people in western countries.C. About 48,000 trees can be used to make 2,800 tons of paper.D. It is never too late to plant trees for paper.66. Which of the following is the be
